Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! First and foremost, we are an encyclopedia. You should begin contributing by reading these pages:
 * 1) Start at Introduction. But if you're too busy to click through a few screens, try this basic table of how to write Wikipedia's links, headings, etc.
 * 2) You want to make sure you know the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. I've summarized them here (although you still should read the full page):
 * 3) *Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Try for accuracy and verifiability, and don't try to create articles about yourself, your friends, dog, school, or company... not, at least, until you have read the criteria for notability and know that what you're writing about meets those criteria.
 * 4) *Wikipedia has a neutral point of view policy. Give reasonable weight to all sides of an issue, without overemphasizing any one view, and without inflating fringe views.
 * 5) *Wikipedia is free content (licensed under the GFDL) and can be edited by anyone. No one is a webmaster (except maybe Jimmy Wales) and anyone can change any article that you make with certain exceptions.
 * 6) *Wikipedia does have a code of conduct. Do not attack anyone, and be civil, avoid making personal attacks, find consensus for your changes, avoid edit wars, follow the three-revert rule, and remember that there are about 2 million articles out there and you don't have to get into any disputes about any one article.
 * 7) *Wikipedia does not have any firm rules. Be bold, because nobody is perfect and you don't have to have a perfect encyclopedia article the first time around.  Don't worry about messing up, either, because all previous versions are kept (check the "History" tab at the top of the page for all those previous versions!) and can be accessed.
 * 8) There is a help page for new contributors.

And above all, this is an encyclopedia! Happy editing! ~user:orngjce223 how am I typing? 21:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. You may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place  before the question on your talk page. Tonywalton | Talk 22:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, another thing. You placed your name in the Hangman's Curse article. Please don't put your signature within articles. Firstly tha article isn't "yours" (they're all Wikipedia's) and secondly articles would quickly become unreadable if they were full of editors' names. Your edits are credited in the article's edit history anyway. Regards, Tonywalton | Talk 22:22, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
